1 Year Old!!!

Carmen is now 1 years old.  We had her 1 year check up last Friday.  Besides the 4 shots she got, it went very well. She is doing extremely well developmentally.  The Dr. was very impressed at how well she's walking/running and babbling.  We have no concerns and neither did the dr.

We aren't sure if she's fighting a bug, if it's from her shots, or antibiotics but she was home with me today with a yucky stomach bug.


What is new with Carmen?

Carmen...

... weighs 23.6 pounds (80%) and 29.5 inches (70%)...

… wears size 3 diapers. She is wearing all some 12 month clothes but is slowly moving to all 18 month and even some 2T things.

... loves to eat!
... is almost done drinking formula.  We hope to have her fully drinking milk by Christmas.  We aren't concerned,  just working to finish the last of the formula :-)

... has 8 teeth.   And the dr. said 2 of her molars look like they might be working.  Her gums were very swollen.

... is still doing very well in swimming.
 

… is WALKING and RUNNING!

...still enjoys her bath

... still loves to climb the stairs

... is "talking" more and more everyday. Says Mama and Dad.  She has started to try and repeat things I will say to her.  Today she said Bath back to me and it was completly clear.

… Looks up in the air no matter where she is when she hears an airplane. Even spots them far away that sometimes Mommy and Daddy didn’t spot first.

… Enjoyed her first Thanksgiving.  She didn't care so much for the food the first time around but the 2nd and 3rd times she thoroughly enjoyed everything but turkey!

...is sleeping very well and through the night!

… continues to smile at everyone!

Happy 1st Birthday Carmen Rose!

WE LOVE YOU!!!!!
